The M3GAN Files

(sometimes accidentally spelled “The MEGAN Files”) is a fan novel you can read via one of these links:

AO3 - The M3GAN Files (no advertising but sometimes gets blocked)
or on Royal Road (some ads, less often blocked)
or on Wattpad (more ads and no links to alternate formats; generally superseded by the Royal Road post)

There’s also a TV Tropes page (thanks tropers) but I have now changed this link to point to an Internet Archive Wayback Machine capture as the Tropes page now carries a level of advertising that is increasingly intrusive, with prominent placement of products and services unsuitable for the teenage-heavy audience of M3GAN, such as gambling which I detest.

Blind or dyslexic readers might prefer this DAISY version of The M3GAN Files.

Or if you meant files for the microbiome analysis tool MEGAN (Metagenome Analyser) try their GitHub.
- M3GAN the android will want to protect her Cady with genetics, so M3GAN’s secret lab is a Folding@Home team you’re welcome to join if you’d like your computer to help with disease-fighting calculations (especially if you have a good GPU): you can download the client and enter team number 1064908. It does increase your electricity usage, but if it’s cold and your normal heater is electric then it’s no extra cost: your computer just does some of the heating. (But if you have a heat pump, it’s probably cheaper to use that.)
- and yes I did think of getting M3GAN to say she’d “meganized” DNA in Chapter 31—and reply to any comment of “don’t you mean M3GANized” with “she M3GANized the meganization”—but I guessed sequencing would have moved on in 10 years, plus M3GAN would say it’s unfair on her fans to pun like that. Pity GROMACS shut down their fake acronyms—we could have suggested Getting Ready to Offload M3GAN’s Analysis of Captured Sequences
or if you wanted files for the the Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature, that’s this MEGAN over here.
- I daren’t ask M3GAN the android if she’s ever touched FORTRAN: I have, and let’s just say I’m glad I don’t have to do that any more. (Hey M3GAN, what’s with the death-stare? I only said... oh never mind)
If you wanted the solicitor named Megan Files in Devon or Dr Megan Files in Seattle, try searching without “the” before the name.
